Buying Poly 26 parts - SV650.org

northwind · 28-03-05, 07:47 PM

So this evening, i went along to the Poly 26 site for about 10 seconds just to link an image for someone, and I seem to have decided to buy their lowers... Careless of me I know

So I've got 2 questions about them... 1 is about their general quality- it was Poly 26 that made those nightmare bellypans for the K3 wasn't it? Anyone got any other experiences about their bits?

The other is about actually getting them... There's a distributor in Scotland but IIRC he's not exactly useful, should I just order straight from Poly 26? Or is there anyone else I can speak to in the UK?

Cheers

iirc the problems were with the dealer not Poly26 themselves.

Let me know how you get on cos them lowers are well tasty

hey northwind, if you are going to put in an order let me know, maybe save on postage... their mudguard looks pretty good and protects the forks too, might be interested

OHHHHH yeah...

If anyone else's up for a group buy to cut the postage, this would be the time to mention it... Really it'd need someone else to handle the distributing at this end though, I'd do it but that'd condemn everyone else to the nightmare of Waiting For Northwind To Post Things.

Whatever floats your boat mate

(Oh ok, you meant the Garde-boue avant racing didn't you?)

can anyone do the fronglais translation for me? ie how much would i be expected to pay for some nice K3 lowers? and how much for painting?

cheers

Well personally I can't understand why you boys are getting so excited? i think they look absolutely crap! poor finish and fit it appears! Naargh don't bother!

Ah come on only joshing! It is very nearly April 1st! Nice bits of kit!

BTW Ophic see below!

I was wondering how much a set of lowers for a Suzuki K3 model might be?

Well, it seems a bas de carénage pour la version S will set you back 183 euros plus shipping- That's £126 in cheap foreign money. As for other translations, Babelfish will give you some really terrible translations for free- I for one am dead excited about the prospect of getting one of their lovely "Driving shoes" (I think they mean "Undertray" but really, who knows?)

Painting, depends where you go and if the fairings need any finishing work... I guess Big Al or Barty Boy would be the people to talk to there.
